Great Haiku Ruchira! Our body might be slowing down as we aged but our mind is still not at rest and we are learning a lot especially now that we are in HP. Well, it does for me. It´s a kind of brainstorming, learning technical uses for increasing traffic for my writing.

Hobbies are good to keep us active and it brightens our existence. Voted up and shared.

Lucky you BBG. having many hobbies is good since; if one loses interest in one...can get hold of the other and keep switching back and forth for recreation purpose.

Wishing you joy in whatever you do...cheers!

Hi Nell, Writing sure is a wonderful hobby. I am LOVING it as well :) Good luck, my friend!

Hi Sunnie, Yes, having a hobby keeps our mind occupied and we tend to live longer since; mind takes us miles ;) Thanks for your support.

This is really well done. I like what you have done here. I am retired and it is so important to have hobbies and keep busy, which I do. I don't know where I found the time to work, now.

Wondeful poem and good advice for those on retirement. Voting this Up and Beautiful.

Peggy Woods

I think that many of us here can associate with that poem about aging. If writing on HubPages...that is surely one hobby and for most people there are probably others. Good to stay active and engaged. I liked your Haiku poem. Voted up!

Ruchira, do we ever retire? The body will slow down but the mind doesn't! Being active in body or mind is living.

Nice haiku. Voted up, beautiful.

Hi Radhika,

I agree as we age we do tend to slow down in the NUMBER of things we do. But, on the positive side...we have matured so much inour thinking and we love what ever life we have left :)

Wishing you peace and joy, my friend!

Your Haiku reminded me that I'm also getting slowed down. With how much agility, I used to do everything during those youth times? I'm so sad..............that I lost all those charming days of vigor and solace.

Nice Haiku Ruchira. Up, beautiful and awesome.

Ruchira, How can you write these haiku.Why retirement and things like this. One should be alive till the last breath is there. Enjoy the world till you can do it. You are my hobby and your comment is my elixir. Now for the literary part. Somebody asked me to have a dekko at their poem. And now I ask the same person to teach me the tricks of the trade. Teacher please do it. BTW I am still Manoj for you.
